Smoke from Canadian wildfires descended on Kitsap Tuesday afternoon and could remain for several days, officials say.

Winds from the north are pushing smoke from fires in British Columbia into Washington. Residents could see and smell smoke through the weekend, according to Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's Phil Swartzendruber.

The air quality in Kitsap is currently "good," according to the state Department of Ecology's air monitoring network. While the quality of the air isn't expected to get much worse, people with respiratory problems should take precautions anyway.

"These things are notoriously hard to forecast," Swartzendruber said.

Hot, dry weather has contributed to the more than 150 active wildfires currently burning in British Columbia. Active wildfires in Okanogan County and Darrington are causing more severe air quality issues in those areas.

Kitsap could also face record-setting temperatures this week, with highs in the mid to upper 90s through Friday. Warms winds from Canada are expected to continue for that time period as well, Swarzendruber said.

A Phase I burn ban is in effect in Kitsap, which means all outdoor fires, except small recreational or cooking fires, are prohibited.
